[PATCH 1/2] Documentation: split gitignore page into sections

From: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>

In-Reply-To: <20101110185555.GA12365@burratino>

A learner-by-example might want to look at the examples section first. Help her out by supplying some section headings: PATTERN FORMAT for the format of lines in an excludes file and EXAMPLES for the two examples.
